MAX VERSTAPPEN blocked Mclaren’s OSCAR PiaStri and Lando Norris, claiming RED BULL’s Grand Prix Sprint in the first race of the team after Christian Horner’s plunder.

The dominant world champion passed Piastri at the opening lab to specialize in the opening lab to take advantage of his excellent straight line speed to raise Kemmel straight in the opening rap.

PiaStri was still able to extend the world championship lead for a teammate Lando Norris to 9 points. Brit was able to extend it to 9 points with 9 points by recovering to third place in the opening lab by Ferrari’s Charles LeclerC.

Despite VERSTAPPEN’s victory, Mclaren’s Pace Advantage will start with Grand Prix’s favorite later on Saturday. I live in SKY SPORTS at 3 pm -The battlefield race of Sunday.

MAX VERSTAPPEN overtakes OSCAR PIASTRI’s OSCAR PIASTRI in Belgian Sprint’s opening lab.

RED BULL was the first time in the team’s history, and Horner was racing, and after 20 years, he was plundered after the Grand Prix in early July.

This victory represents a perfect start to Horner’s replacement Laurent Mekies, who celebrated VERSTAPPEN for Team Radio after Dutchman took the checkered flag.

Belgian GP Sprint: Top 8

2) OSCAR PIASTRI, MCLAREN

3) Lando Norris, MCLAREN

4) Charles Lecrlerc, Ferrari

5) Esteban Ocon, Has

6) Carlos Sainz, Williams

7) Oliver Bearman, HaaS

8) ISACK HADJAR, Gyeongju Bull

MEKIES said: “Max. Very, very impressive defense, very well controlled. You left nothing there.”

Victory shows the symbolic victory of Red Bull, but VERSTAPPEN has gained a solitary point for PiaStri, and hope for the fifth consecutive driver title remains very faint.

Lando Norris moved to P3 for the Belgian GP sprint and overturned Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.

VestAppen said: “It worked really well. The start was the only opportunity for them and we got it 5.

“Then I knew it was very difficult to keep them back, so I was playing cats and mice by using DRS and battery.

“The entire race was within a seven -seven -seven -seven -seven, so I couldn’t afford to make a big mistake. There was a small lock in the last corner, but it was a good result of keeping them back.”

MAX VERSTAPPEN has won the Belgian GP Sprint after blocking OSCAR PIASTRI in the last lap.

LECLERC was ranked fifth and seventh, with Esteban Ocon and Oliver Bearman in fifth and seventh, respectively.

Carlos Sainz produced one of the best performances in Williams, while ISACK HADJAR claimed Bulls’s last point in eighth place.

George Russell ranked 12th and Luis Hamilton 15th, and recovered from the Grid after recovering from the British duo powerful qualifiers.

VERSTAPPEN: It was a very good start with Mekies

VERSTAPPEN has made another notification of why he is in his stratosphere in a continuous conjecture of the future with the team.

The load powerful setting was chosen for him, and the Red Bull made him faster at the straight, but McLarens left the remaining speed of the remaining rap.

This option also made it harder to handle VestAppen’s cars in more complex areas of the rap, but he overcame the challenge in the best style with a single error that provides PiaStri’s half opportunities at the beginning of Rap 11.

The reality is that MEKIES cannot have a big impact on the team for two weeks, but the French credit has laid the foundation for a strong start in the furniture era due to a clear smooth shift.

VERSTAPPEN asked about the influence of mekies after sprint. “It is very difficult to say that many things suddenly should turn blue in two weeks.

Laurent MEKIES thought Max VestAppen extracted everything from the car to claim sprint victory in the Belgian GP.

“It is to start a relationship and understand how everyone is in operation, and at some point you may want to reach the conclusion and change something. This will happen for the next few weeks and months.

“It’s really early, but so far he has been very sharp and motivated, and I think exactly what you want. And I was very good with him.”
